Fiona’s internationally award winning photographic coffee table book!
Immerse is Fiona Basile’s internationally award winning photographic coffee table book that
celebrates the beauty of the ocean and the joy of a special open water swimming community in Seaford, a bayside suburb of Melbourne, Australia.
It was awarded third place in the 2024 International Photography Awards in the ‘Professional - Self Published Book’ category.
Made with a team of professionals from within and around Melbourne, Australia, Immerse features 144 pages of thick, textured paper, showcasing sweeping seascapes and stories of 35 local open water swimmers sharing why they swim and what draws them to the open water.
They are moving stories of community, connection and care.
You’ll be inspired, and touched by the beauty of the images and the stories.
This is a unique and special (and now, ‘internationally award winning’) photographic coffee table book for every swimmer, ocean and water-lover.
